Akufo-Addo deserves another chance - Youth Organiser

Mr Richard Kwadwo Adu, Wenchi constituency youth organizer of the New Patriotic Party, has advised the party to give another chance to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to lead the party in the 2016 general elections.

He said the chances of the NPP to win the 2016 election are high if the 2008 and 2012 presidential candidate is allowed to lead the party once again.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview in Wenchi on Tuesday, Mr Adu explained that voters, especially those at the grassroots, yearn to see Nana Akufo-Addo bounce back on the NPP’s campaign platform.

It will spell doom for the party if the NPP makes a mistake to replace Nana Akufo-Addo with any candidate in 2016, he said.

Mr Adu observed that 2016 is a very crucial year for the NPP as the December general election would determine the political fate of the party, and appealed to delegates to embrace the choice of Nana Akufo-Addo for the party to win the elections.

The NPP youth organizer observed that accusations and counter-accusations among party supporters would not do any good if the party is bent on winning the general elections.

What is important now is for us to come together as a party, identify and tackle the diverse problems that led to our defeat, so that we will not repeat those mistakes and lose in 2016.
